This seems wrong; the ABI is that these flags are only set in ET_EXEC and 
ET_DYN objects.  This means the assembler should have nothing to do with 
them; rather, the linker should set them based on the build attributes in 
its input files, if producing ET_EXEC or ET_DYN output.  (And there should 
be testcases added to the linker testsuite for this: that they are set 
for such output, but not for ld -r links.)
